This is a very nice box, put together under supervision of graphic illustrator Yasuo Yagi. Until this first book about Zappa was published in Japan the main written source were album sleeve notes in Japanese written by the same Yasuo Yagi. The box contains two books described below.

This limited edition (3000) box was issued on Frank Zappa's 48th birthday – 21st December 1988. The box is a real piece of art and should be the ultimate target for every Zappa books collector. Some day I will write a manual – how to bid on Japanese auctions.
